Habitat for Humanity Chatham-Kent

Currently, we partner with families with children under the age of 18.

No. Habitat partner families pay an interest-free mortgage geared to their household income. Habitat partner families must also be willing to complete 500 hours of volunteer service prior to purchasing their home.

You must be discharged from bankruptcy and/or completed your consumer bankruptcy for a minimum of 2 years before you can qualify for our homeownership program.

Credit checks are required as part of our approval process. A low credit score would not prevent you from being approved, however large debts may have an impact on your eligibility.

Eligible partner families must reside in Chatham-Kent for at least 2 years. They also cannot own other property.

Our Habitat for Humanity Chatham-Kent Online Eligibility Assessment is a great tool that can help identify factors that might disqualify your application. Click here for more information on how to qualify and access to our eligibility assessment form.

Habitat ReStore is a social enterprise retailer whose profits make a positive social impact. Our ReStore accepts and resells donations of new and used furniture, appliances, and home improvement building materials. All profits from our ReStore go towards building homes for families in need of safe and affordable housing across Chatham-Kent.

At our ReStore you’ll find a wide variety of items such as building materials, appliances, furniture and household items. The items you’ll find will range from brand new to gently used and since the inventory of the ReStore depends on donations, you never know exactly what you’ll find.

Please see our list of acceptable and non-acceptable items here.

We pick up large items and appliances for free. Please see our donations page for more information and to schedule a pickup.

We do not offer delivery at this time, but are looking to introduce this service in the near future.

It is always a great idea to call ahead and ensure your donations are suitable. All donations to the ReStore must be inspected by our staff during regular business hours. We kindly ask that you do not drop donations outside of business hours.
